Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I'm asking you to join me in support of Reading Public Library, an organization that is near and dear to my heart. Our city's library is much more than a repository of books. It is a community center, a safe shelter, and an economic driver. Reading Public Library is an anchor in our community, serving the needs of traditional library customers while tackling social exclusion and inequality. The opportunities this library brings to the community of all ages are incredible!

Those who know me well, know my love for reading and strong belief in the value of access to information to those who want to learn and grow their minds. I've spent countless hours in various libraries and cannot emphasize enough that I would not be where I am in life without this resource being available to me. Knowledge is power. Reading Public Library provides invaluable resources for our community to access that knowledge.

This year, the funds raised will support programming at the library. Reading Public Library's main library and three branches serve as vital community centers that provide safe, welcoming spaces to people of all ages. We especially want to create a new welcoming space. Your support will enable us to offer high-quality humanities-based programming that emphasizes music and arts education, fosters civic engagement, and celebrates the diverse cultures within our community. Additionally, donations will contribute to the continued operation of the Reading Public Library.

Please give as much as possible and then pass my request along to others. Stop by Franklin Station Brewpub on May 14, 2025, from 5 to 8 PM for some drinks, food, and fun.
